Miller's Tavern, later known as Brooke County Historical Museum, was a historic inn and tavern located at Wellsburg, Brooke County, West Virginia. It was built in 1797, as a two-story, rectangular brick building with a hipped roof. It sat on a sandstone foundation and lintels. It was one of the Ohio Valley's oldest surviving examples of Federal architecture. It housed the Brooke County Historical Museum from 1973 to 2018.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1] This historic building was torn down November 2019 with intentions to erect a municipal building that will house the magistrate court.
